Make It Happen

Not more than three short years (Bb)ago I was abandoned and (Dm7)alone,

without a penny to my (Bb)name,

so very young and so (Dm7)afraid.

No proper shoes upon my (Bb)feet.

Sometimes I couldn't even (Dm7)eat.

I often cried myself to (Bb)sleep,

but still I had to keep on going,

never (Am7)knowing if I could (Bb)take it,

if I would (Gm)make (F)it (Eb)through (F)the (Bb)night.

I held on to my (Am7)faith.

I struggled and I (G)prayed.

And now I've (A)found my way.

(Dm7)If you believe in yourself enough and (Bb)know what you want,

you're gonna make it (Dm7)happen.

(Make it (Bb)happen.)

(Dm7)And if you get down on your knees at night and (Bb)pray to the Lord,

He's gonna make it (Dm7)happen.

(Make it (Bb)happen.)

I know (Dm7)life can be so tough and you (Bb)feel like giving up,

but you (Dm7)must be strong, baby,

(Bb)just hold on.

(Dm7)You'll never find the answers if you (Bb)throw your life away.

(Dm7)I used to feel the way you (Bb)do,

still I have to keep on going,

never (Am7)knowing if I could (Bb)take it,

if I would (Gm)make (F)it (Eb)through (F)the (Bb)night.

I held on to my (Am7)faith.

I struggled and I (G)prayed.

And now I've (A)found my way.

(Dm7)If you believe in yourself enough and (Bb)know what you want,

you're gonna make it (Dm7)happen.

(Make it (Bb)happen.)

(Dm7)And if you get down on your knees at night and (Bb)pray to the Lord,

He's gonna make it (Dm7)happen.

(Make it (Bb)happen.)

I know (Dm7)life can be so tough and you (Bb)feel like giving up,

but you (Dm7)must be strong, baby,

(Bb)just hold on.

(Dm7)You'll never find the answers if you (Bb)throw your life away.

(Dm7)I used to feel the way you (Bb)do,
